The American Association of University Women (AAUW) awarded Shandyn Gee the fourth fully endowed scholarship at Fort Lewis College (FLC).

LPEA will contribute $20,000 annually over the next three years to support the program’s 10th anniversary and inspire innovative, future-focused thinking.

The team is the latest Village Aid Project, which has been providing essential services like clean water and solar energy to remote, underdeveloped communities since 2005. 

Manuelito ‘Manny’ Wheeler attended the screening of the Navajo-dubbed Star Wars: A New Hope (Sǫʼtah Anaaʼ: Siih Náhásdlįį), a project he led in 2012. The event marked the closing of the Center of Southwest Studies popular exhibit “The Return of the Force, which celebrated the many cultural, philosophical, and mythological connections between Indigeneity and the Star Wars universe.

FLC and DIHFS officials hope this visit will be the first in a series of regular, quarterly stops.
